According to leaks, each nation participating in the tournament will receive a special boosted card that players can unlock through a Swaps system that FUT veterans will be familiar with.

What does WC Star Danilo Pereira look like in-game?

The defensive midfielder, who can also slot in as a centre-back, has received an impressive boost to his attributes in FIFA 23. Pereira has the following stats in six key aspects:

  • Pace: 80
  • Dribbling: 84
  • Shooting: 72
  • Defending: 87
  • Passing: 82
  • Physicality: 89

While these stats are based on leaks and are subject to change based on EA's whims, they should closely reflect what the card will look like in-game. Pereira currently plays for Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain and has an overall base rating of 80. The 31-year-old possesses rather underwhelming attributes, and fans will be pleased that his World Cup Stars version is significantly better.


How will Danilo Pereira perform in-game?

The PSG star will be the ideal defensive-minded midfielder in the current FIFA 23 meta. The new AcceleRATE system of the game has made players possessing the lengthy acceleration type overpowered in-game. Pereira falls under this category and will be able to chase down attackers with ease and dispossess them with his domineering physical presence.
